#GivingTuesdayNow

The organizers of #GivingTuesday have seen how nonprofits around the world are being affected by disruptions caused by COVID-19. To support organizations like Independent Futures, they have created #GivingTuesdayNow.

Because of stay-at-home policies due to COVID-19, we have postponed our annual benefit, SPARK, until Saturday, November 7th. This challenging decision was also a necessary one to protect the health of our community.

However, postponing SPARK leaves Independent Futures with a $200,000 gap in funding our operations at the same time that new consultation meetings are postponed due to effects of the immediate COVID-19 impact on their own operations. With these economic downturns, however brief they may be, significant donations are being delayed, and grant opportunities are being diverted to COVID-19 emergency funds.

Your gifts help us support our community every day. Eventually we will return to our daily lives, and we will be stronger for it. Until then, if you are able, once you have taken care of your families, please consider making a gift toward community support for adults with disabilities today.

Will you donate to support Independent Futures?
